*** "Midnight Beach" is a skimpy swimwear line... but the dolls themselves are cast in glow in the dark plastic. Logically, dressing them in limited clothing makes sense otherwise the gimmick wouldn't work as well. Though come to think of it, the ages of the Bratzillaz cast has never been said, so they may very well be adult age.

** Bratzillaz averts this, for the most part- the dolls have theme clothing centered around witches and goth style and tend to get longer skirts and less bare skin. They have high heels, albeit boots this time. Meygana Broomstix has an exposed midriff, but her look borders so much on "steampunk mechanic" that one has to wonder if she isn't a subtle Shout Out to Winry Rockbell from Full Metal Alchemist.

In late 2012, the line expanded with Bratzillaz, who are not only the cousins of the main cast, but also witches. The line takes obvious cues from Harry Potter, but has mostly been compared to Mattel's Monster High, and with good reason- MGA seems to be doing their best to openly compete with Mattel's juggernaut, with a similar catchphrase("Glam Gets Wicked", as opposed to "Freaky Just Got Fabulous") and even a Youtube channel that has short "webisodes" and even a live-action music video which has been compared to the Monster High "Fright Song" video.

[[caption-width:400:Sadly, some fashion models ''do'' look a bit like this...]]
''The ONLY girls with a passion for fashion.''
A line of [[{{Animesque}} anime-styled]] fashion dolls created by ex-[[{{Barbie}} Mattel]] employee Carter Bryant and produced by MGA Entertainment. Released in 2001, the line did the unthinkable and dethroned {{Barbie}} from her spot as the #1 doll line among girls. The ''Bratz'' line features an ethnic rainbow of different characters to choose from and their chosen jobs tend to focus on more "glamorous" occupations such as singing, acting, and, of course, modeling and fashion design.
The line eventually became popular enough to warrant a bunch of spin-off lines, several animated [[DirectToVideo Direct-To-DVD]] movies, a short-lived cartoon series, and [[Film/{{Bratz}} a live-action movie]]. The cartoon and most of the animated movies take place in the fictional town of Stilesville and focus on the 4 main girls in the line (Cloe, Sasha, Yasmin, and Jade) and their trials and tribulations of running their own fashion 'zine (appropriately titled ''Bratz''), playing in their own band, getting through the school year at Stiles High, and thwarting the schemes of their rival magazine, ''Your Thing'', run by the middle-aged self-proclaimed "Queen of Fashion", Burdine Maxwell, and her two interns Kirstee and Kaycee (AKA "The Tweevils"). The live-action movie chronicles the girls' adventures in Carry Nation High as they try to destroy the oppressive clique system that the principal's daughter, Meredith, uses to control the students... and win the annual school talent show.
To elaborate, the Bratz Direct-To-DVD line consists of:
* Mainline
** ''Bratz : Starrin & Stylin''
** ''Bratz Rock Angelz''
** ''Bratz Genie Magic''
** ''Bratz Passion 4 Fashion Diamondz''
** ''Bratz Fashion Pixiez''
** ''Bratz : The Musical : Girlz Really Rock''
** ''Bratz Genie Magic 2''
** ''Bratz Pampered Petz''
* Interactive
** ''Livin' It Up!''
** ''Glitz 'N Glamour''
* SpinOffBabies (And Kidz)
** ''Bratz Kidz : Sleepover Adventure''
** ''Bratz Kidz : Fairy Tales''
** ''Bratz Babyz : The Movie''
** ''Bratz Super Babyz''
** ''Bratz Babyz Save Christmas''
* And of course, the infamous ''Bratz : The Movie''. [[hottip:*: And yes, this means that the Bratz line somehow released more [= DVDs =] than Barbie even though her Direct-To-DVD ventures started earlier. ]]
The line also had a licenced video game line that was surprisingly intriguing (Using travel and magazine gameplay as it's main focus) and some crappier [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames rushed to coincide with a movie release]] games. Not to forget the two Bratz Ponyz games (the conception of which is complicated, since it was a spin-off of the spin-off Bratz Babyz line, and no, we have no idea what Babyz are ''doing'' with said ponies.)

!!This franchise contains examples of:
* AmbiguouslyGay: The only boy in the new official canon (And on the website) at this point is Eitan, and while Cameron, Dylan and various others have been released as dolls under the Bratz Boyz moniker, Eitan is part of the main ensemble-image on the website with the girls.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: One of the discontinued characters is a Japanese girl named May Lin. [[DidNotDoTheResearch Oops!]]
** Katia and her father, introduced in ''Bratz: Genie Magic'', is ''obviously'' Russian, according to Cloe's latest blog post, she's now Moroccan (This might be a case of DidNotDoTheResearch since the fashions in Genie Magic had a slight Moroccan influence).
* BlitheSpirit: No one other than the Bratz in TheMovie had even ''thought'' about ''talking'' to people outside of their cliques, let alone sitting at a different cliques' lunch table, until they came along.
* BlondesAreEvil: Burdine and the Tweevils
* {{Bowdlerize}}: The recent comeback has the girls dressing in layers and pastels for no apparent reason. This wouldn't be so bad if they were actually well done though. All of the make-up is the same now too.
* BrokenAesop: The main characters constantly tell the one-shot characters that they should follow their own unique sense of style... right after they give them a makeover or get done gawking at the villains' untrendy LimitedWardrobe.
** In addition, the villains are supposed to reinforce the message that the viewer should be unique and look like nobody else... and yet the main characters and their boyfriends are all recolors of one another. (Yes, that includes their outfits.)
* ButtMonkey: Dylan in the cartoons.
* CasanovaWannabe: Dylan in the cartoon.
* ColonCancer: Bratz: The Musical: Girlz Really Rock
* DawsonCasting: The movie, where Jade, Yasmin and Sasha are played by actresses atleast close to high school age, but Cloe is played by Skyler Shaye, who is twenty one.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In ''Bratz Rock Angelz'', after Jade gives [[LeanAndMean Burdine]] a double cheeseburger for lunch, Burdine fires Jade, [[UpToEleven her children and her grandchildren]] from the Your Thing magazine for life and tells her that she'll never work in any magazine from that day onwards.
** Then Jade and the rest of the Bratz fake being employees of ''Your Thing'' and then Byron Powell gets the ''Your Thing'' crew ''kicked out'' of a concert because they're not dressed punk.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The Fashion Pixiez movie contains a scene that looks surprisingly like a rave party, with everybody attending high on [[GRatedDrug 'evil pixie magic']].
* DuelingShows: With ''{{Trollz}}''.
* DumbBlonde: The Tweevils
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: The [[InNameOnly ''Princess'']] line.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles
* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry
* {{Expy}}: Struts, which is ''Bratz'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''MyLittlePony''.
** Someone also did [[CunningLikeAFox Foxz]], who were even creepier than the Strutz and Bratz put together. Even the FurryFandom thought they looked like cheap hos.
* TheFashionista: Jade, although the slogan implies the whole line is about this.
* FishOutOfWater: Katia the genie from ''Genie Magic''.
* FiveTokenBand- There's Cloe the white girl, Sasha the SassyBlackWoman, AsianAndNerdy Jade, and Latina GranolaGirl Yasmin. The fifth person is whatever one-shot character is in that episode/movie/set of dolls.
* FollowTheLeader: Started out as a FollowTheLeader to {{Barbie}}, but soon became more popular.
* FunWithAcronyms: Let's just hope that this one is unintentional in the case of ''Bratz Rock Angelz''.
* GirlPosse: Quinn and Avery, Meredith's yes men.
* HairOfGold: Cloe
* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Burdine Maxwell's voice sound familiar? Thats because you probably know her as [[JustShootMe Nina Van Horn]] or [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove Chica]].
** Cloe is [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Ty Lee]]
** Yasmin is [[TheFairlyOddparents Trixie Tang]]
** Jade is PunkyBrewster
** Sasha is [[SisterSister Tia Landry]] and [[Series/TheGame Melanie Davis]]
** Kirstee and Kaycee are [[TheBigBangTheory Penny]] and [[MeanGirls Gretchen Weiners]], respectively.
** After Lionsgate took over production, Chloe became [[SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries Sabrina]] (in ''Sabrina's Secret Life'') and [[BabyLooneyTunes Baby Lola Bunny]], Jade became [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash]], and Kaycee became {{Barbie}}
* HighSchool
* HollywoodNerd: Dexter and the rest of the "Nerd" clique in TheMovie.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: In TheMovie, of the 'obsessed with fashion' flavor first and foremost, with a side-order of boy-crazy.
* InformedFlaw: In ''The Movie'', Cloe is supposed to be clumsy. But that doesn't stop her from being the best soccer player on the school's team, capable of pulling off moves that only professional players can do. Her clumsiness even gets the girls into the situation where they make up and become friends again and lets her spend time with her crush.
** In one of the animated movies, Jade is publicly humiliated at school when word got out about her fashion ''disaster''... which was... a pretty cute and unique outfit. despite the fact that there didn't seem to be ''any'' thing wrong with it, all of her friends say that it looks terrible. Instead she happily chooses to wear a generic yellow dress identical to the other ones everyone else wore to the dance, and happily declares that she finally got her individual fashion sense back.
* InsultBackfire: In both ''Rock Angelz'' and the live-action movie, the girls get the idea for their group's name from a mean girl calling them "brats." It's much more subtle in ''Rock Angelz'' than in ''Bratz: The Movie''.
* LimitedWardrobe: Burdine and the Tweevils.
* LiveActionAdaptation: ''Bratz: The Movie'', which was nominated for several Razzies (including "Worst Movie"), and was described by one reviewer as "the reason why terrorists hate [[{{Eagleland}} us."]]
* {{Loads and Loads Of Characters}} Forty plus. The comeback outdoes this, adding new characters in almost every line.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Cloe in Rock Angelz with the ninth duke of lessex.
* MakeWayForThePrincess: Both Meredith ''and'' the Bratz do this in ''The Movie''.
* MerchandiseDriven
* MoneyDearBoy: Jon Voight, why?
* MyBelovedSmother: Cloe has one of these in Rock Angelz, after which we [[PutOnABus never hear from her again]].
* NegativeContinuity: In ''Rock Angelz'' Cloe tells us that she met Cameron in second grade, but we see Cloe and Cameron have a skate contest as Babyz in the Babyz movie.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[AmericanIdol Byron]] [[TheXFactor Powell]], [[ParisHilton London Milton]], [[{{Beyonce}} Allonce]]... don't forget [[JenniferLopez Lo-J]].
* OnlyOneFemaleMold: Not only for the dolls, but also in the cartoon. To the point that when one of the male characters disguises himself as a girl, he has ''exactly'' the same body shape as the female characters.
* OnlySixFaces: The animators were really lazy with the direct-to-dvd movies and cartoon leading us to see the same person dancing in seven different locations in the same club. Also, Cameron and Dylan show up in the strangest locations in ''Forever Diamondz''.
** [[OnlySixFaces Only Two Faces]]: There are currently only two face molds.
* TheOtherDarrin: Cinegroupe produced the first direct-to-video movie, ''Starrin` and Stylin`'', and featured a different cast from the TV series (which was produced by Fox and Lionsgate). However, ''Starrin` and Stylin`'' didn't list the voice credits.
** For the TV show's second season, Fox stopped producing the series, so Lionsgate took over, replacing the entire cast.
* OverlyLongName: Bratz Passion For Fashion Diamondz
* ThePowerOfFriendship (''and'' fashion!)
* PrettyInMink - Some fur coats, as their outfits are often influence by hip hop culture.
* RecycledInSpace - Barbie dolls THAT LOOK LIKE TEN DOLLAR PUERTO RICAN PROSTITUTES!
* RichBitch: Meredith Dimly from TheMovie
* ScrewedByTheLawyers: The courts found the toy line was being worked on by Mattel before the creator left the company, so Mattel won a suit to discontinue the line.
** According to [[FanDumb some fans]], this is evidence that Barbie is [[YoureJustJealous jealous]] of the Bratz.
*** Speaking to the FanDumb accusation--Judge Alex Kozinski, who granted [=MGA=] the appeal, seemed to agree that there was some "jealousy" involved in the case, saying, "America thrives on competition; Barbie, the all‐American girl, will too."[[http://www.entertainmentlitigationblog.com/2010/07/entertainment_litigation_the_b_1.html]][[http://www.entertainmentlitigationblog.com/2010-07-22%20Mattel%20v%20MGA%20Entertainment%20(9th%20Cir%20-%20Kozinski%20op).pdf]]
* SeriesFranchise
* SpinoffBabies: ''Lil' Bratz'', ''Bratz Babyz'', ''Bratz Boyz'', ''Bratz Kidz'', ''Bratz Petz''...
* {{Stripperiffic}}- The dolls have been accused of being this, with some degree of truth. Due to what might or might not be unfortunate tailoring, there have even been Bratz dolls with pronounced camel toe.
** MGA seems to be trying to change this with the new dolls, who are much more covered.
* TakeThat: Burdine, the Tweevils, and Meredith all have [[HairOfGold blonde hair]], {{blue eyes}}, and are always shown [[PrincessesPreferPink wearing the color pink]]. Burdine also reminds Kaycee of "that fashion doll" Kirstee used to hit her with when they were 3. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Hmm...]]
** Subverted with Cloe, she have blonde hair and blue eyes, but she ''doesn't'' wear pink.
** Both Pretty in Punk ads have the line [[{{Barbie}} "Not Pink]], [[DarkerAndEdgier Punk!"]]
* TheMovie: Cleverly named ''Bratz: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Movie]]''.
* TheNoseless: Whether or not the characters have a nose changes from scene to scene in their cartoons
* ThemeTwinNaming: Kirstee/Kaycee, Orianna/Valentina/Siernna, Nita/Nora
* [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Those Two Bad Girls]]: The Tweevils
* TotallyRadical
* UnlimitedWardrobe - Hence the tagline.
** Interesting note about the cartoons: While they do change clothes, they all have a set of different outfits that they rotate in and out of. And they're all essentially recolors of one another. All four girls will usually wear the same style of outfit, ironically...
** This might have been hilarious in hindsight when you realise most of the new dolls are wearing the same type of outfits.
* ValleyGirl: The Tweevils. Sometimes Cloe.
* VisualGag: The first movie was full of this.
* WakeupMakeup - ''The first scene'' of the movie. Their hair is even perfectly straight too.
* XtremeKoolLetterz - Pretty much all the names of the dolls. Examples: Meygan, Roxxi, Breeana. Also, the Twiinz line. [[http://www.amazon.com/MGA-Bratz-Twiinz-Collector-Dolls/dp/B0001Y6IIS I'm serious.]]
** Not to mention, ''Brat'''z'''''.
** [[http://bratz.com BRATZ R BAK!]]
* YouCanPanicNow: Every few years or so, someone starts a panic saying that the dolls are teaching girls to dress like hookers or that beauty is everything in life.

Not to forget the two Bratz Ponyz games (the conception of which is complicated, since it was a spin-off of the spin-off Bratz Babyz line, and no, we have no idea what Babyz are ''doing'' with said ponies.)
Due to the somewhat sexual nature of the dolls' designs and clothing, the materialistic nature of the franchise, and the overall poor quality of the cartoon and movies, it is almost universally hated by everyone outside of its target demographic. According to MGA CEO Isaac Larian, only perverts would see anything sexual about the dolls.[[https://www.nydailynews.com/archives/gossip/2005/11/22/2005-11-22_bratz_dolls_play_up_sex__cri.html]] (Someone needs to read more [[FreudWasRight Freud]].)
In December 2008, Mattel won a copyright lawsuit against MGA that ruled that, since Bryant was still working at Mattel when he created the original dolls, they were Mattel's intellectual property. As a result, MGA was banned from selling all 40 dolls in the line [[http://www.thestar.com/business/article/548268]]. MGA successfully appealed the ruling in July 2010 and regained ownership[[http://www.mgae.com/downloads/pressreleases/MGA%20Statement%20-%20Bratz%20Ruling%207-22-10.pdf]]. The case will be retried at the beginning of next year[[http://www.thenewstribune.com/2010/08/05/1291160/retrial-in-battle-over-bratz-dolls.html]], but for now, the company is allowed to continue selling and producing ''Bratz''. In August, they released updated dolls with wider figures, less make-up, and more modest clothing to celebrate the franchise's 10th anniversary ([[BatmanGambit and so that they can claim they are not the same designs that Mattel claimed ownership of]], but that is neither here nor there.)
----
!!This franchise contains examples of:
* AmbiguouslyGay: The only boy in the new official canon (And on the website) at this point is Eitan, and while Cameron, Dylan and various others have been released as dolls under the Bratz Boyz moniker, Eitan is part of the main ensemble-image on the website with the girls.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: One of the discontinued characters is a Japanese girl named May Lin. [[DidNotDoTheResearch Oops!]]
** Katia and her father, introduced in ''Bratz: Genie Magic'', is ''obviously'' Russian, according to Cloe's latest blog post, she's now Moroccan (This might be a case of DidNotDoTheResearch since the fashions in Genie Magic had a slight Moroccan influence).
* BlitheSpirit: No one other than the Bratz in TheMovie had even ''thought'' about ''talking'' to people outside of their cliques, let alone sitting at a different cliques' lunch table, until they came along.
* BlondesAreEvil: Burdine and the Tweevils
* {{Bowdlerize}}: The recent comeback has the girls dressing in layers and pastels for no apparent reason. This wouldn't be so bad if they were actually well done though. All of the make-up is the same now too.
* BrokenAesop: The main characters constantly tell the one-shot characters that they should follow their own unique sense of style... right after they give them a makeover or get done gawking at the villains' untrendy LimitedWardrobe.
** In addition, the villains are supposed to reinforce the message that the viewer should be unique and look like nobody else... and yet the main characters and their boyfriends are all recolors of one another. (Yes, that includes their outfits.)
* ButtMonkey: Dylan in the cartoons.
* CasanovaWannabe: Dylan in the cartoon.
* ColonCancer: Bratz: The Musical: Girlz Really Rock
* DawsonCasting: The movie, where Jade, Yasmin and Sasha are played by actresses atleast close to high school age, but Cloe is played by Skyler Shaye, who is twenty one.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In ''Bratz Rock Angelz'', after Jade gives [[LeanAndMean Burdine]] a double cheeseburger for lunch, Burdine fires Jade, [[UpToEleven her children and her grandchildren]] from the Your Thing magazine for life and tells her that she'll never work in any magazine from that day onwards.
** Then Jade and the rest of the Bratz fake being employees of ''Your Thing'' and then Byron Powell gets the ''Your Thing'' crew ''kicked out'' of a concert because they're not dressed punk.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The Fashion Pixiez movie contains a scene that looks surprisingly like a rave party, with everybody attending high on [[GRatedDrug 'evil pixie magic']].
* DuelingShows: With ''{{Trollz}}''.
* DumbBlonde: The Tweevils
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: The [[InNameOnly ''Princess'']] line.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles
* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry
* {{Expy}}: Struts, which is ''Bratz'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''MyLittlePony''.
** Someone also did [[CunningLikeAFox Foxz]], who were even creepier than the Strutz and Bratz put together. Even the FurryFandom thought they looked like cheap hos.
* TheFashionista: Jade, although the slogan implies the whole line is about this.
* FishOutOfWater: Katia the genie from ''Genie Magic''.
* FiveTokenBand- There's Cloe the white girl, Sasha the SassyBlackWoman, AsianAndNerdy Jade, and Latina GranolaGirl Yasmin. The fifth person is whatever one-shot character is in that episode/movie/set of dolls.
* FollowTheLeader: Started out as a FollowTheLeader to {{Barbie}}, but soon became more popular.
* FunWithAcronyms: Let's just hope that this one is unintentional in the case of ''Bratz Rock Angelz''.
* GirlPosse: Quinn and Avery, Meredith's yes men.
* HairOfGold: Cloe
* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Burdine Maxwell's voice sound familiar? Thats because you probably know her as [[JustShootMe Nina Van Horn]] or [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove Chica]].
** Cloe is [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Ty Lee]]
** Yasmin is [[TheFairlyOddparents Trixie Tang]]
** Jade is PunkyBrewster
** Sasha is [[SisterSister Tia Landry]] and [[Series/TheGame Melanie Davis]]
** Kirstee and Kaycee are [[TheBigBangTheory Penny]] and [[MeanGirls Gretchen Weiners]], respectively.
** After Lionsgate took over production, Chloe became [[SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries Sabrina]] (in ''Sabrina's Secret Life'') and [[BabyLooneyTunes Baby Lola Bunny]], Jade became [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash]], and Kaycee became {{Barbie}}
* HighSchool
* HollywoodNerd: Dexter and the rest of the "Nerd" clique in TheMovie.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: In TheMovie, of the 'obsessed with fashion' flavor first and foremost, with a side-order of boy-crazy.
* InformedFlaw: In ''The Movie'', Cloe is supposed to be clumsy. But that doesn't stop her from being the best soccer player on the school's team, capable of pulling off moves that only professional players can do. Her clumsiness even gets the girls into the situation where they make up and become friends again and lets her spend time with her crush.
** In one of the animated movies, Jade is publicly humiliated at school when word got out about her fashion ''disaster''... which was... a pretty cute and unique outfit. despite the fact that there didn't seem to be ''any'' thing wrong with it, all of her friends say that it looks terrible. Instead she happily chooses to wear a generic yellow dress identical to the other ones everyone else wore to the dance, and happily declares that she finally got her individual fashion sense back.
* InsultBackfire: In both ''Rock Angelz'' and the live-action movie, the girls get the idea for their group's name from a mean girl calling them "brats." It's much more subtle in ''Rock Angelz'' than in ''Bratz: The Movie''.
* LimitedWardrobe: Burdine and the Tweevils.
* LiveActionAdaptation: ''Bratz: The Movie'', which was nominated for several Razzies (including "Worst Movie"), and was described by one reviewer as "the reason why terrorists hate [[{{Eagleland}} us."]]
* {{Loads and Loads Of Characters}} Forty plus. The comeback outdoes this, adding new characters in almost every line.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Cloe in Rock Angelz with the ninth duke of lessex.
* MakeWayForThePrincess: Both Meredith ''and'' the Bratz do this in ''The Movie''.
* MerchandiseDriven
* MoneyDearBoy: Jon Voight, why?
* MyBelovedSmother: Cloe has one of these in Rock Angelz, after which we [[PutOnABus never hear from her again]].
* NegativeContinuity: In ''Rock Angelz'' Cloe tells us that she met Cameron in second grade, but we see Cloe and Cameron have a skate contest as Babyz in the Babyz movie.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[AmericanIdol Byron]] [[TheXFactor Powell]], [[ParisHilton London Milton]], [[{{Beyonce}} Allonce]]... don't forget [[JenniferLopez Lo-J]].
* OnlyOneFemaleMold: Not only for the dolls, but also in the cartoon. To the point that when one of the male characters disguises himself as a girl, he has ''exactly'' the same body shape as the female characters.
* OnlySixFaces: The animators were really lazy with the direct-to-dvd movies and cartoon leading us to see the same person dancing in seven different locations in the same club. Also, Cameron and Dylan show up in the strangest locations in ''Forever Diamondz''.
** [[OnlySixFaces Only Two Faces]]: There are currently only two face molds.
* TheOtherDarrin: Cinegroupe produced the first direct-to-video movie, ''Starrin` and Stylin`'', and featured a different cast from the TV series (which was produced by Fox and Lionsgate). However, ''Starrin` and Stylin`'' didn't list the voice credits.
** For the TV show's second season, Fox stopped producing the series, so Lionsgate took over, replacing the entire cast.
* OverlyLongName: Bratz Passion For Fashion Diamondz
* ThePowerOfFriendship (''and'' fashion!)
* PrettyInMink - Some fur coats, as their outfits are often influence by hip hop culture.
* RecycledInSpace - Barbie dolls THAT LOOK LIKE TEN DOLLAR PUERTO RICAN PROSTITUTES!
* RichBitch: Meredith Dimly from TheMovie
* ScrewedByTheLawyers: The courts found the toy line was being worked on by Mattel before the creator left the company, so Mattel won a suit to discontinue the line.
** According to [[FanDumb some fans]], this is evidence that Barbie is [[YoureJustJealous jealous]] of the Bratz.
*** Speaking to the FanDumb accusation--Judge Alex Kozinski, who granted [=MGA=] the appeal, seemed to agree that there was some "jealousy" involved in the case, saying, "America thrives on competition; Barbie, the all‐American girl, will too."[[http://www.entertainmentlitigationblog.com/2010/07/entertainment_litigation_the_b_1.html]][[http://www.entertainmentlitigationblog.com/2010-07-22%20Mattel%20v%20MGA%20Entertainment%20(9th%20Cir%20-%20Kozinski%20op).pdf]]
* SeriesFranchise
* SpinoffBabies: ''Lil' Bratz'', ''Bratz Babyz'', ''Bratz Boyz'', ''Bratz Kidz'', ''Bratz Petz''...
* {{Stripperiffic}}- The dolls have been accused of being this, with some degree of truth. Due to what might or might not be unfortunate tailoring, there have even been Bratz dolls with pronounced camel toe.
** MGA seems to be trying to change this with the new dolls, who are much more covered.
* TakeThat: Burdine, the Tweevils, and Meredith all have [[HairOfGold blonde hair]], {{blue eyes}}, and are always shown [[PrincessesPreferPink wearing the color pink]]. Burdine also reminds Kaycee of "that fashion doll" Kirstee used to hit her with when they were 3. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Hmm...]]
** Subverted with Cloe, she have blonde hair and blue eyes, but she ''doesn't'' wear pink.
** Both Pretty in Punk ads have the line [[{{Barbie}} "Not Pink]], [[DarkerAndEdgier Punk!"]]
* TheMovie: Cleverly named ''Bratz: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Movie]]''.
* TheNoseless: Whether or not the characters have a nose changes from scene to scene in their cartoons
* ThemeTwinNaming: Kirstee/Kaycee, Orianna/Valentina/Siernna, Nita/Nora
* [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Those Two Bad Girls]]: The Tweevils
* TotallyRadical
* UnlimitedWardrobe - Hence the tagline.
** Interesting note about the cartoons: While they do change clothes, they all have a set of different outfits that they rotate in and out of. And they're all essentially recolors of one another. All four girls will usually wear the same style of outfit, ironically...
** This might have been hilarious in hindsight when you realise most of the new dolls are wearing the same type of outfits.
* ValleyGirl: The Tweevils. Sometimes Cloe.
* VisualGag: The first movie was full of this.
* WakeupMakeup - ''The first scene'' of the movie. Their hair is even perfectly straight too.
* XtremeKoolLetterz - Pretty much all the names of the dolls. Examples: Meygan, Roxxi, Breeana. Also, the Twiinz line. [[http://www.amazon.com/MGA-Bratz-Twiinz-Collector-Dolls/dp/B0001Y6IIS I'm serious.]]
** Not to mention, ''Brat'''z'''''.
** [[http://bratz.com BRATZ R BAK!]]
* YouCanPanicNow: Every few years or so, someone starts a panic saying that the dolls are teaching girls to dress like hookers or that beauty is everything in life.
